    I'm using the brackets with the Name inside cut and copied e.g.

    {whatPneumatic}

    and the answer doesn't input.. any ideas what's going on?

    The solution my colleagues provided was for forwarding a selected answer from one field into the label of another field.

    Please see the following demo form:

    As mentioned in the original support thread, you need to use the exact name of the first field, written inside { and } curly brackets, and enter it as such in the label of your second field.

    The name of the field in my demo above is {inTerms}, so I have use this as the label of the second field: How many times did you want to {inTerms}

    You can clone the above form into your own account for further testing:
